Blueberry Coffeecake with Spiced Crumble Topping

Good morning! Happy Monday! I hope that you had a great weekend. I had a great weekend; a little rest, some time  at the farmers market and a little time in the sun. I have been on the go for so much of the summer I have been worn out lately so it was nice to have nothing on the schedule.

I made this coffeecake a few weeks ago and it is the perfect summer breakfast treat. It is moist, sweet, and filled with fresh fruit, almost a health food (ha ha). I thought that you might enjoy making it using a few of the fresh  berries from your garden or local farm stand.
